What Causes High BP During Functional Ability Assessment?
I went for a functional ability assessment and was asked to do grip test, bending squatting etc... My heart rate read 175/120. The doctor asked me few questions later and did the heart rate test again and still high which read 164/120, then he refused to continue with assessment because it s too risky. What does that signify?

Hi, the clinical picture suggests you reported that you had high blood pressure during the exam.
I suggest you look for soon a cardiologist to further investigate this situation and if confirmed you have high blood pressure, to investigate the possible causes and arrange treatment. The blood pressure reported is too high and needs a early investigation.
Hope I have answered your question. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help you. Wish you good health.
